あ's manga / #shounen ai(3)

Pretty nice read; wholesome and mildly entertaining. The romance isn't there very strongly, but we do see some snipets of their life (as lovers) afterwards. The plot itself wasn't incredible, but it didn't lean too heavily into clichés. It's a type of lighter manga, without big complications. Maybe not exactly what I wanted and maybe not the best suit for me, but pretty nice nonetheless

It's okay, soft and nice-y but feels unnecessarily drawn out at times. There's a lot of extremely similar manga tbh, it didn't add anything new or interesting for me. The story is fairly cliché, the characters are ± nice but also not very memorable, more of a archetype than a unique character. The emotional conflict is also the exact same as in many other manga, with the same points and reactions, exact same doubts and progression. MC is pretty cute, gifted in housekeeping, his love interest is the cool, very kind devoted ikemen who used to play sports. The third friend character was surprisingly not a rival or an asshole, helping them out in the end. There's an extra chapter with the first time they have sex, and some extras
